You can get free isn't necessarily something to shoot for. The economy is always growing and that shrinks debt in and of itself. If you make $100 and you owe $100 Then you owe 100% of your income which is bad. However if your income grows to a thousand and you still only owe $100 you're down to 10% of your income and that's completely manageable But the debt has to stop growing. Or at least it has to stop most of the time. That inspires confidence in the economy, it inspires investment, it means that every year more of our revenues go to services and less goes to debt servicing and it means things are getting better Currently every year right now our federal debt to GDP ratio increases every year instead of decreasing. And at an alarming rate. We cannot afford $90 billion dollar projects which are almost certainly going to actually be $150 billion projects under those conditions

Well we did it before That may be true. But all that will mean is that we can't afford it then either

That's literally what you say to everybody when you can't argue the point and you're bitter about it Sigh. Yes yes, you're very pretty, well done, here's your participation trophy, I'll hang the picture you made on the fridge. 🙄🙄

Hitting Europe would be bad enough. And I think you forget that the united states operates military forces including sizable fleets well within the Iranian strike range. So even if their missiles cannot make it all the way to America they can still attack American interests and kill lots of Americans. A US carrier has about 5,000 people on it by itself, the carrier battle group with a couple of carriers in attending ships would be a massive loss for America both in terms of military power, financial assets and human life And while you're thinking it may take a decade for them to get icbms, 10 years is not very far away. And once they have the nukes unless you're prepared to Nuke them first it's pretty hard to get close enough to attack them without risking a horrific price

Yawn. in otherwords you can't argue the point and you're angry i'm right so you'll just say something stupid to make yourself feel better like a Chihuahua barking at big dogs on the other side of the fence If it makes you feel better I'm fairly confident you're an adult. Just an unusually stupid one. And a liberal. But I guess there's no need to repeat myself

We DON"T spend a 100 billion a year on defense, in fact we spend about HALF that. And it's the federal gov'ts job to provide for the defense of the country, that's a primary duty! And as i noted previously there's no way it's a 'one time' expense. And yes, an unnecessary rail system that serves a tiny percent of the population is NOT WORTH 2 YEARS OF OUR ENTIRE DEFENSE BUDGET! Yeash! And as I also pointed out seeing as we have to borrow the money we spend about $3 billion dollars a year just in the interest payments, hoping that interest doesn't go up. So over the next 10 years after it's built there's another 30 billion. And it will not take decades to build. The first phase would be operational 6 years after construction starts, with the final completion about 10 and change years from start. and the longer it takes the more prices go up and the more overbudget it goes. And as pointed out it's not even close to the highest population growth in the west. The actual west, BC and Alberta, have higher population density, higher population growth. And if Alberta can have all of the pipelines it can find investors to build then you can have all of the high-speed trains you can find investors to build. And if no investors are interested then that tells you something about how useless it is This is not a decent transportation option. This is a vanity project servicing a small number of people And will saddle our country with debt that will cripple entire generations And you still haven't put forward anything even remotely resembling an argument as to how this benefits us other than you like the idea.

You're in ontario aren't you? If you voted conservative there provincially you voted liberal

Sounds like their just the age democrats like! Oh, wait, i see what you mean now.

Or stupid apparently. Nobody said anything about people choosing to be gay. In fact nobody said anything about being gay. We were talking about transgender people Do you not know the difference between a gay person and a transgender person? Nobody has said that they do. You just making crap up at random and arguing with that. It's got nothing to do with what anybody has said. In fact I was the one that posted got transgenderism and gender dysphoria or substantially biological How would you know? You're certainly not living in it yourself Kiddo wherever you are, reality is nowhere near you. me: Gender disphoria and transgenderism is substantially biological you: NOOO!!! NOOOOOO!!!! IT"S SUBST ANTIALLY BIOLOGICAL!!! Me; Sigh,

Sexual orientation? I thought we were talking about gender. And I don't recall anybody suggesting that anybody can choose anything. In fact I deliberately posted research indicating that this was at least substantially biological. Here's the thing about you you have these weird preconceived ideas that are simply not backed by facts or science. And when someone points that out you have these weird Daydreams and fantasies about what kind of person they are and what they must disagree with and how they think and how they're all out to kill you You never once asked how I felt about any of this. And you've never once addressed the actual science I provided you with, and we're talking real medical studies and papers not just some article. And we're talking about research that has happened within the last couple of years, not over a decade ago All of which leads me to believe that you really don't care about the transgender issue. What you care about is hating people you perceive as being conservative. Trans people can go screw themselves as far as your concerned as long as you get the right to hate conservatives Pretty dishonest. Most transgender people will experience gender dysphoria to one degree or another. Gender dysphoria leads to depression, sense of isolation, anxiety and other mental disorders and stresses and is very unhealthy if not effectively treated. It has a strong biological component which means that without treatment those people will be miserable and depressed regardless of their acceptance in the community. That is a simple truth and all of the data supports that strongly. but hey, don't let facts or science get in the way of your hatred. You go right ahead and fantasize about me being out there killing trans people.

The annoying thing is they were warned and discussions did happen. People said if you allow these things to happen under obama and biden then the day will come when someone you don't like gets in power and uses it against you. And you won't have a leg to stand on and there won' t be a lot of sympathy from the other side. I myself said that here to dem supporters when biden was running amok. And the dems here were like "whatever, we're totally justified". Now the same antics used against them has them howling in rage. Its' infuriating. And this little death spiral for american democratic representation will continue. LOL yeah and they can't understand why you're not furious, failing to remember they were all for this nonsense in the past when it was their guy

Two things. One now NO one will understand you and 2 the board will become more quiet

Is Biden running again!?!?

That's true but as i understand it there's two democrats vying for the seat.

No, it's a handful of people. "Potential" isn't real. A small number of people relative to the population would use this. And no, the fastest growing population areas in Canada are Edmonton and Calgary. So if we're going to do high speed why aren't we doing it there if "Fastest growing" is a factor. And no, the highest population density in canada by area is PEI, and the highest density city is vancouver followed by new west minster (in greater vancouver) and north vancouver. Toronto and monreal aren't even in the top five. ANd if the population in 30 years is relevant, then build it in 30 years. Maybe we'll have gotten our budget balanced by then and we'll be able to afford it. And there is NOTHING responsible about it at all. WE CANNOT AFFORD 90 BILLION DOLLARS. We are going into debt about 100 billion a year, we cannot afford ANOTHER 100 billion and we both know that it's going to be close to 150. And you STILL Haven't made a business case other than "gee i sure like trains". Which is NOT a good enough reason to spend 150 billion dollars! If it were 15 billion or something then MAYBE but FFS .... WE CANNOT AFFORD THIS RIGHT NOW. Thanks to 11 years of liberal mismanagement we are bloody close to having our credit rating slashed and running out of borrowing power, which is what the Auditor general warned us about, and you want to spend over 100 billion on a vanity project that will NOT BENEFIT US IN ANY WAY. Give your damn head a shake! What the hell is WRONG with people in the east?!?!?!

No you're lying now. LOL sorry kid you're about as hard to read as a dr seuss book

See? You're still not arguing with me LOL!!!! (ba da DING!! Tip your waitresses folks, i'm here all week )

Yeah. Well you're sobering up. Of COURSE not!!! The Memo said NOT to!!!! Pay attention woman!!

LOL, well i suppose sort of, there's always the danger they'll fall off their chair laughing at you Yeah. You should try it some time Well yeah we knew it, nobody voted for the ndp. But at least you admit it now.

Yes, by stabbing them or bludgeoning them. Not by calling them names. In fact there's a little song they made up about that. "Sticks and stones...." Well there's two problems with that. 1) you would have to demonstrate that a lack of empathy and humanity is somehow inferior which you haven't, and 2) i don't find them inferior. That's your hatred and bigotry making assumptions. But.... only TWO major flaws is a massive step up for you! Well done! No they won't. And if they do kill themselves it will be because of their gender dysphoria. That's WHY it's a MENTAL ILLNESS!!! These people need effective treatment, not lies.

It will some of the dams are the ones who want him gone And they're behind this. We have seen that before

I guarantee you everybody else identifies you as something else
